No rush, Miles' proposal may work together with yours though.

I can fix gnus-registry-trim so it knows certain kinds of extra data
mean the article should not be expired when the registry is trimmed.

If you mean the article label should stay even after the article is
deleted, that can be arranged too.
gnus-registry-trim-articles-without-groups controls this right now.  I
actually fixed a bug related to this right now, as well.
